NATIONAL COMIC BOOK DAY

IMG_9413.JPG

There are some things everyone should really get excited about.  The first real snow, chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven and COMICS!  I love to pour over comics and I love to draw them.  Many years ago I did a super hero show inviting other artists to join me.  From this show came my alter ego Super Stick!  I had a blast making a super hero self and occasionally can’t help but bring her out for some adventure.  On National Comic Book Day how could I not think about Calvin and Hobbes!  I am no Bill Watterson but I sure enjoy trying!  This is a simple marker drawing with a tad of pencil shading to give a bit of depth to it.  The drawing is on watercolor paper.  After I had inked it all in I did a light watercolor wash for the background.
